I'm the PP - and Warren and Sanders certainly are, and some of the others (see: Harris) toy with it. I am a Democrat and I wish they weren't. I've bemoaned over and over that they aren't promising a public option.

-European socialdemocrat from a country with both public and private health insurance, and who fears Warren/ Sanders/ Harris proposals would create such a giant mess that healthcare in this country would go backwards, not forward.

most of the swing seats already flipped

The incumbent in GA-07 is Republican Rob Woodall, who won by only 400 votes and is not running again.

And Carolyn Bourdeaux, who almost beat 4-term incumbent Woodall, just announced she’s running again for the now-open seat.

No, Warren isn’t. Check again. Sanders I have no idea, but sanders isn’t a democrat, either.

Again, maybe look into Warren’s actual plan.

This is the most conservative district in the country, so not flippable. What’s worrisome is that Thornberry wasn’t slavishly devoted to Trump (spoke out against moving funds from defense to the wall, for example) and his replacement certainly will be.

Chris Collins (R-NY) to change his insider trading plea to guilty. He should probably resign immediately.
